With up to 8 million visitors annually, Ocean City becomes Maryland’s second most populated town during the busiest summer months. The small town charm, peaceful natural beauty and abundance of activities and entertainment make it the perfect place to spend an RTX exchange week or getaway.

While the boardwalk amusements and attractions provide plenty of fun entertainment by day and night, sometimes an escape from the bright lights and carnival music can be welcome. Ocean City’s dining and nightlife scene is versatile, with plenty of casual options, intimate settings for a high-quality romantic meal or popular hot spots where great food makes way for tasty cocktails and busy dance floors later in the night.

Ocean City’s 3-mile boardwalk has everything you’d dream a boardwalk to have: carnival games, kitschy art galleries, amusement park rides, endless options for food and a proud history throughout it all. You can see it by foot, with plenty of benches lining the length of the boardwalk for resting or eating “boardwalk fries” (just beware of seagulls) or you can catch the trolley that runs seasonally from the inlet end of the boardwalk about halfway to the other end.

Ocean City has been a favorite spot for vacationers in the Mid-Atlantic region since the mid-1800s. With up to 8 million visitors annually, Ocean City becomes Maryland’s second most populated town during the busiest summer months. With its small town charm, peaceful natural beauty and abundance of activities and entertainment from boardwalk amusements and water activities to golf and outlet shopping, Ocean City is the perfect place to spend an RTX exchange week or getaway.

With 21 championship golf courses and great golf weather from April into November, the Ocean City area is an ideal destination for hitting the greens. Some of the area’s courses have been recognized by major golf publications as being among the best in the country, including public golf course Eagle’s Landing.

For amazing views and a thrill of a lifetime, take a ride with Paradise Watersports and soar above the shores of Ocean City.

Since 2005, Paradise Watersports has been taking Ocean City vacationers to new heights with their parasailing excursions. These scenic trips are both exhilarating and relaxing, giving customers a thrill while taking in the natural beauty, wildlife and sea life surrounding Ocean City.

One of the most iconic sights on the Ocean City beach is the colorful display of kites soaring above the sand just north of the boardwalk. Like beacons guiding ships to the shore, these high-flying wind catchers will guide you to the Kite Loft, an institution in Ocean City for more than 35 years.

The blue crab is considered the tastiest of crab species, which is lucky for anyone visiting Ocean City as their native habitat includes the Chesapeake Bay. If you’ve never had crabcakes made with fresh lump crab meat and no filler (as they are prepared at many inland eateries), then you will be amazed at the difference.

This winter was extremely cold and snowy for much of the U.S., and while mounds of the white stuff may be a dream come true for the vacationer who loves skiing, snowboarding and other winter sports; we can bet that many of our RTX members have been anticipating the warm weather, sunshine and bright colors as nature wakes up and jumps to life this spring. To celebrate the new season, the Spring 2014 issue of RTX Traveler magazine features two destinations that encourage visitors to get out and about to enjoy the weather and all of the activities offered in each fantastic place.
